For Academics Teaching in Fall:The Fix Will Soon Be In!

[UPDATE: I've been asked a good question by a professor thinking about adopting the book for fall, and that is, are galleys available for examination. Answer: Sorry, not yet. However, for anyone who wants a sense of the book, I am happy to walk through the volume in a phone chat before any spring textbook ordering deadlines. Just drop me a note.]

For those faculty who would like to use it in their courses, I plan on blogging systematically about the book -- sort of virtual book club -- during the fall term and plan to organize the discussion in such a way to be useful to university courses, from undergraduate to graduate levels. I will also be providing assignments and spreadsheets to accompany the discussion.

If you'd like to participate, you can email at pielke@colorado.edu to discuss details and to make requests, or you can just follow along. The book can be pre-ordered at Amazon for $17 andif you are interested in an exam or desk copy, see here. If you are outside the US, the publication schedule will be a bit later and I am happy to tailor discussions to courses on different schedules.
